SEWING AN EMBROIDERING PATTERN
Sewing Attractive Finishes
There are many factors that go into sewing beautiful embroidery. Using the appropriate stabilizer (see page 129)
and hooping the fabric in the frame (see page 130) are two important factors mentioned earlier. Another
important point is the appropriateness of the needle and thread being used. See the explanation of threads
below. Included with this machine are two bobbin cases. Follow the explanation below.
* Depending on the model, an alternate bobbin case with a pink marking may be included. It can be used in the same way as the bobbin case
with no color marking on the screw.
See page 194 for how to remove the bobbin case.
For details on adjusting the alternate bobbin case, refer to page 210.

Embroidery Needle Plate Cover
Under some conditions, based on the type of fabric,
stabilizer, or thread being used, there may be some
looping in the upper thread. In this case, attach the
included embroidery needle plate cover to the
needle plate. Attach the cover by inserting the two
projections on the underside of the cover into the
notches on the needle plate as shown below.

Memo
If you use threads other than those listed above, the embroidery may not sew out correctly.
Bobbin case

)
Standard bobbin case (green marking on the screw) is in the machine for sewing and embroidery.
The bobbin case originally installed in the machine has a green marking on the screw. Do not adjust green marked
screw.
Alternate bobbin case (no color on the screw) is set with tighter tension for embroidery with different
weights of bobbin threads and a variety of embroidery techniques. This bobbin case is identified with a
dark colored mark on the inside of the bobbin cavity. The screw on this case can be adjusted if necessary.
Note
• Before embroidering, check that there is enough thread in the bobbin. If you continue sewing without enough thread in
the bobbin, the thread may tangle.
• Do not leave objects in the range of motion of the embroidery frame. The frame may strike the object and cause a poor
finish to the embroidery pattern.
• When embroidering on large garments (especially jackets or other heavy fabrics), do not let the fabric hang over the
table. Otherwise, the embroidery unit cannot move freely, and the pattern may not turn out as planned.

CAUTION
• Push the embroidery needle plate cover as far as
possible to attach it. If the embroidery needle plate
cover is not securely attached, it may cause the
needle to break.
Note
Do not use the embroidery needle plate cover for any
applications other than embroidery.
